Maritime beach
With its clear sand, Formosa Beach is a rare sight in the Azores, where black volcanic sand predominates. With crystal clear, shallow waters, it is a much appreciated leisure area in the southern part of the Island of Santa Maria.
The Maré de Agosto Festival has been held here for over 25 years, an event that features great performers of world music.
